Carey School Penthouse
Thu, 23 Jun 2016
Becky of Libby Kirwin Real Estate sent over some photos of this fantastic penthouse condo in Newport, Rhode Island. Libby worked with an investor to transform a dilapidated neighbourhood elementary school into a 13-unit condominium building, which sold out pretty quickly and I can see why! With exposed brick and beams and lots of ceiling angles for added architectural interest, this is a dream! And those hardwood floors are gorgeous but I can't believe the stagers covered it up with so many large rugs. Other than that I am in love.

Where can I find those bars stools?
I'm on the tall side, so ceiling height is a concern. I'd be worried about bonking my head every time I stood up in that place.
My thoughts exactly, Jared! But it is a lovely home- I especially like the kitchen.
Karate chop pillow alert!
It must be one of those buildings that requires a certain percentage of the floors to be carpeted. I've seen some buildings where 80 -90 % of the floors must be covered to reduce noise and vibration transfer.
It certainly wasn't done for aesthetics. All but the hall entry rug are pretty generic.
Oh my, what a fabulous penthouse! I love the different ceiling angles and exposed brick. It's definitely the vibe I’d like to incorporate on my house. I'm totally stealing some ideas! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!
